The Airvolute DroneCore Jerboa is a single-board autopilot for mid-size multicopters, made in Slovakia. It couples an STM32H7 flight controller (FMU) with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX as companion computer and addresses platforms that want navigation, camera streams and AI processing on one board.
The STM32H7 handles the time-critical control loop and the Jetson the compute-heavy image processing; flight control therefore stays independent of the load on the companion computer. PX4 and ArduPilot are both supported. The board offers 2 CAN, 2 USB, Ethernet, several UARTs, SPI4, PWM/GPIO, PPM and four CSI camera inputs. The input voltage is 12 to 36 V and the temperature range is −40 to +85 °C. The 43 g refer to the bare board; with the Orin NX it is 123 g, and the dimensions of 94 × 53 × 33 mm include the Orin NX.
Airvolute declares conformity with Section 848 of the 2020 NDAA and points to an available NDAA configuration; anyone supplying US authorities picks exactly that variant. The EU class (C0 to C6) follows from the finished drone, not from the autopilot.
When selecting, plan with the 123 g rather than 43 g and allow for cooling, because the Orin NX gives off considerable heat under load. Flight controller and Jetson have separate software versions that are maintained individually. Flat CSI cables and USB connectors are the typical weak points under vibration; after every modification the IMU and compass are calibrated again.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
